The course is designed to provide delegates with basic knowledge and understanding of SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus). Introduces the risk of entering a confined spaces by developing the management and responsibility and basic skills required to prepare and use SCBA safely in a toxic, non-breathing environment.
